  • If you've ever wanted to look inside McKamey Manor without losing your eyebrows (or worse), this is the podcast for you. Works hard to set McKamey Manor in the weird but compelling context of haunted houses. Strongly recommended.

  • Very interesting topic, annoyingly repetitive

    Very repetitive, I must have heard the same interview at least 4 or 5 times. You keep describing how much footage there is online about the haunts and the experiences, so it’s unclear why we’re only hearing about 6 or so experiences repeated many times over.

  • Could have been so much better

    Repetitive interviews, I thought I was re-listening to entire episodes. Unrelated content and not much insight on Russ. Sounds effects are not necessary and distracting.

  • Misleading Title

    So many interviews about Halloween & Haunts but so very little to actually do with McKamey Manor. Some interviews are repeated through several episodes. Should be named McKamey Manor - from a long distance.

  • So good

    Really nice pacing to the show! I’ve seen people reviewing saying they don’t like the interviews alongside the story of mcKamey but I think it adds way more to the context and depth of the podcast
